Both my toddlers have had temperatures this week, and off their food.
How can I prove/disprove these symptoms might be swine flu or otherwise?

You can’t prove it now as it has just been announced that potential cases are no longer to be sent off for testing – with 100,000 people a day expected to contract it. It would be worth chatting to your doctor to check out all the symptoms.
you cant prove it without a test and since they are no longer testing you will never ‘know’ for sure. however a temperature alone doesnt indicate swine flu.
What difference would it make? It’s not as though They’ll have lifelong immunity even if they did both have it.
It’s not worth testing..
If your toddlers have been to nursery school or are looked after during the day at a cresh/crech with other children of same/similar age, there is a very good chance that one or both got Swine Flu from the group.
The main incubators of Swine Flu are such as schools etc.
Most sufferers recover quite quickly, a week to ten days at most with quite mild symptom, but off work and maybe in bed for a while.

Rubbish! My whole family just got tested, the doctors came round our house and swabbed us all, because we all had a flu and its going round my sisters school. They came straight away upon phoning and we were positive! Get it checked, its easy as a phonecall to the flu clinic.
The only conclusive way to find out for sure if your children have swine flu is to have the dr do a swab test while they are still showing symptoms. The dr will rub a swab up a notril and run a test (looks like a pregnancy test). It’s very quick, only 10 minutes for results. The only other conclusive test is a blood test and who wants to do that?
